For example Word processors replaced typewriters while project management software replaced the drafting board and allowed teams to work more efficiently. Other kinds of software are designed to improve communication and marketing. These include ecommerce platforms, which facilitate online transactions, feedback tools and dashboards to help sales visibility.
